Subject: update on three sick weasels

Well, I got my guys to the vet's this morning, and it turns out that
everyone (including the insulinomic) is in good health except for
the two new ones having earmites. they're being treated for
them right now, and the insulinomic will be treated for them
when he finishes his amoxi and pepto and is deemed ready by
the vet. Other than that, the vet gave the insulinomic guy a
thorough checkup and said there was nothing wrong with him.
(she's a really good vet, so I believe her). We don't know why
he's been making the coughing/gagging/heaving sounds, but he
doesn't seem to be blocked, or underweight too much, or
anything else so we're just going to keep an eye on him and do
a series of controlled blood glucose tests to verify the 69 that I
got last week. The 69 was after more than 5 hours of fasting
since he hadn't wanted to eat that day, so it might be erroneous,
but if not, he's going back on pred.

Thanks for all your help!
